the key is in leverage and self-emotion

🔁 How I Lost $60 in Futures and What I Learned 🧠 (Read if You’re Trading with Small Capital)

A few days ago, I had $60 in my Binance futures wallet. I believed I could double it quickly. I used 20x leverage on a few trades, and within hours… I was down to $6.

😔 It felt bad. But I realized the problem wasn’t the market — it was ME.

Here are 5 powerful lessons I’ve learned from that loss, which might help you too:

📌 1. Leverage is a Double-Edged Sword
I thought 20x leverage would bring fast profits. Instead, small moves liquidated my trades. Now, I only use 3x–5x max. Capital protection comes first.

📌 2. No Plan = No Chance
I entered trades based on emotion, not strategy. Now I wait for confirmed signals using simple indicators like RSI, 50 EMA, and support/resistance zones.

📌 3. Tiny Wins > Big Gambles
A 2% gain 10 times is better than a 100% gamble. Small, consistent profits compound faster than you think.

📌 4. Risk What You Can Lose
I now only risk 1–2% of my capital per trade. With $6, I treat each trade like a lesson — not a lottery ticket.

📌 5. Losses Are Part of the Journey
Every trader loses. The smart ones learn, adjust, and stay in the game. I’m not giving up — I’m getting better.

🎯 My Goal: Turn $6 into $60 slowly — with patience, risk control, and better decision-making.

If you’ve lost money in futures, you’re not alone. But it’s not over. Learn, adapt, and focus on building skills — not chasing quick wins.
